US- Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - see you in a couple weeks! Need to see if GameStop is doing a midnight opening or if they'll be cool with me just breaking a window to grab a copy. (Hope this one doesn't turn into Doom for the second half.)- Brütal Legend - clearly in the "yay, don't have to see these commercials anymore!" category- Cars Race O Rama- Way of the Samurai 3- Where the Wild Things Are

So far I love Uncharted 2. It really does feel and look cinematic. So far the story is mundane, but I'm not really playing it for the richness of its narrative. It can get frustrating at time as well, but so far I have almost no qualms about buying it outright instead of just renting it (as I did with the first Uncharted game).

Folding works fine. It's part of the OS, and they're very slightly tried to build around it, so it probably will be with them for a while.

Besides the lack of PS2 compatibility, I think the biggest complaint people have had is only having 2 USB ports. Controllers are wireless, but since you charge them by plugging them in, and use those same ports for thumb drive transfers or keyboard/camera accessories, it might require juggling or a generic $15 USB extender.

Otherwise, I think the Slim is a better deal in all ways that matter. It puts out less heat and less fan noise, and it supposedly uses less energy. The system runs at the same speed, and you're not going to notice a difference between while using them. I haven't seen anyone mention issues of something working on one model and not the other, so far.

The Slim has a bigger hard drive than most old PS3 models, and the hard drive is supposed to be easier to replace and upgrade - though there really shouldn't be any need to do that.

If you find a deep discount, there's nothing wrong with the old model, but the Slim is a definite improvement.
